According to Merle, this song was his favorite song of all the songs he wrote. It was dedicated to his mom. Thank you for showing us how to play it, Shane. 👍👍👍
Great job very good teaching.
Thank you so much Billy. I appreciate it. Hopefully it will get better.
All my old time favorites
I just discovered Merle Haggard.
JUNE 21,2022.
Such great tunes!:)
One of the all time greats!!! So many great tunes!!!
Shane you do a great job. Really appreciate the way you present these classics.
Thank you so much Brent! Comments like this keep me motivated to keep making these videos. I appreciate you watching them.
I am trying to learn this song because I was inspired by a book I just finished. Titled, The Bakersfield Sound: How a Generation of Displaced Okies Revolutionized American Music was written by Robert E Price. I recommend it if you haven't heard of it. Anyway, my family was part of the Okie diaspora and I can still hear my daddy's radio playing the country music he loved. I know his connection to the history of the Bakersfield sound and his lifelong fondness for country music. My dad really admired Merle Haggard and I want to learn this song as a tribute to him. I'm having a bit of trouble with the intro, but I'm hopeful I'll be playing well enough to play this song at the open mic in my town. I really like the way you teach. Thanks
That is great Denise! Thank you for the info and the recommendation. I also appreciate your sharing your family's history. I plan on visiting Bakersfield sometime this year. So it will be special to see some of the sights and landscapes that shaped much of the music that I love. Keep practicing and you will get it. And if you have any questions or need any help let me know!
@@countrymusicguitarclassics Thanks Shane. The Crystal Palace and the Bakersfield Sound are my goals, someday.
Thank you.
Lived in Bakersfield as a kid and needless to say I’m a huge Merle Fan. I’ve seen him live and have played guitar and sung his songs for years. Thanks for this great lesson/video!
That is great to hear! I saw Merle live once. I should have made it a point to see him more. I have never been to Bakersfield but I want to someday. Thanks for watching the video and leaving a kind comment. Merle is one of the all time greats!
@@countrymusicguitarclassics once again,
Love what you are doing with these videos. I just felt I needed to mention that you do not need to be in a hurry to go to Bakersfield, it’s a rough place. I was raised in a similar situation as Merle (Minus no prison time) and Bakersfield just seems to have more than it’s fair share of hard times. I suppose that is why music just wells up and resonates so well from that area. I have not been back in years, too many bad memories. I will say that it left its mark on me, it has made me resilient. If and when you go, be sure to see Buck Owens Crystal palace, they put on a lot of good country music at that place. Also go visit Don Rich’s Gravesite, He was my personal hero as a young impressionable kid. My Dad played steel guitar as a pickup musician at the Blackboard which was one of Merle’s early Honky tonk’s he played in as well. My dad and Merle are both gone now. I will leave you with a couple lines from one of my songs titled “Bakersfield”
“Ol’ Merle, Buck and Don
Are never truly gone
As long as we keep they’re
Songs alive,
heroes are hard to find
But legends never die
Here in Bakersfield”
Take care and looking forward to more of your videos!🎶
Great lesson thank you '

You are welcome John Paul. Hopefully it was helpful!
Showing us the easy way, lol I would get to easily frustrated with this, I am a mere chord strummer and a pretty shabby one at that.
Love the way you explain stuffs in ur tutorial but would appreciate if you could zoom in the keys during the explanation, thanks Shane, keep up the good work.
Thank you for the feedback and idea Amand. I will try to start doing that on some of the videos. I appreciate it!

Hi Jim. Yes that video will be published at the end of this week or next. Thanks!
Cool thanks
17 Mims for a 3 minute song ...just get too it already
Haha. Living up to your last name huh Kyle? Thanks for the feedback. Hopefuly the newer videos have improved and I have cut down on my rambling on.
@@countrymusicguitarclassics that was a good concept back...I do like your videos.
@@countrymusicguitarclassics I like your stuff..check out fretmore...with Keith williams...that boy can that Tennessee flat top box
@@klyde171 Yep. He sure is cranking out the videos and knows a lot of songs that is for sure.
Thanks man , I enjoyed that lesson , cause momma tried ..... Chk me out on YT if want
I appreciate it Baker. I will check it out!
Why no strum pattern
I probably should have included that for that song. Thanks for the feedback.
Amazingly bad hatchet job on the finger picked intro (from the 5 to 7 minute marks). Embarrassing really. It's not even in 4/4 timing and this guy doesn't seem to have a clue where the downbeats would even be. Around 6 minutes he tries to play his own bad rendition and its basically in 5/4 (if it was in any intentional timing at all). Just laughable. Beginner guitarists - do not watch this video unless your goal is to become a really bad guitar player. UA-cam has no shortage of hacks putting guitar videos out, but this guy takes the prize.
